I should have the new picksheet for week 1 up soon. Normally this would not be until Tuesday but with a game on Thursday and being the first week of the season (no game tonight to hold up the lines from Vegas) I should have it up and going today. A few things to remember: The only contest of the 3 I am running against the spread is the weekly/season selections. The Survivor Pool and the Margin Pool are both with NO POINT SPREAD. In the Margin Pool and the Survivor Pool it is VERY IMPORTANT not to use the same team more than once as your selection in each of the pools. If you choose Chicago as your margin pool selection this week, you can not select them aga…

4 R.B's pick 3 to play LT Forte Bush Felix Jones

I'm curious, because I don't know many people who do the auction drafts. Most people that I've know who've done auction vs. the standard pick draft, prefer the auction. Mainly because you control you're own destiny. If you believe Tom Brady's going to get it done again this year, you can spend half your $$$ or however much it costs to get him. I just think the auction's one helluva a lot of fun, and yet I've found few people who do it.

In our league we get to keep three keepers from our prior year roster. The cost of the keeper is whatever you used to pick the player in the previous year's draft. I have to make these selections tomorrow morning. Here are my options: Steven Jackson will cost me my first round pick. He's currently holding out. Plaxico Burress will cost me my fourth round pick. He's currently got leg issues and isn't happy with his contract. Ben Roethlisberger will cost me my 7th round pick. However, keeping him as my starter means I wouldn't even consider taking Manning, Romo or Brees who all look like they'll be available (not kept) in the random order draft process.…

I've been involved in FFL for 12 years and have yet to find a free site that I trust. Any sites out there that you like? Links...

I was browsing leagues at Yahoo to see if there were any leagues with scoring systems set up that I liked and had opening (I know, I Know, I am already in 5 LOL) and I saw one with a max of 4 teams and a 3 round draft with the only starting position was kicker. Thats it, draft 3 kickers, no other players, play a 4 team league and have a 2 week playoff at the end of the year weith all 4 teams making the playoffs. LOL And there are 3 of the 4 teams filled! OMG, that is one sick league. http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/339097/settings

Hi guys sorry to tell ya that i have to drop out of the league. I'm going on vacation on August 22nd until August 25th. Yes, i know about the auto pick thing. But, i'd like to not have the computer pick my team. Again, i apologize in advance.

Hey guys, if anyone has gone through a draft this year, let's hear it, how did it go, who did you draft? I would be curious to see how you did. I am in 5 leagues so far, may sign up for more, with my first draft coming up on the 16th. I will post the results from all my drafts here and maybe you guys can give me some feedback. Don't be shy, let's see those draft boards, LOL.

What is your favorite draft position in the FF drafts? Every year I agonize wondering where I will draft. I seldom get a top selection and usually get pi&&ed when I wind up drafting near the bottom of the 1st round. However, looking back on it I seem to always come up looking good when I pick late. Last year I drafted last in the first round and wound up winning the championship. So in a 10 team draft where do you prefer to select, #1, #10, or somewhere in between?

Ok, let's play what if. You have the number one overall selection in your fantasy football draft. Who do you select? LT? J Addai? A Petersen? F Gore? S Jackson? B Westbrook? T Brady? R Moss? or fill in the blank!

Week 4 Picksheet is ready to roll. Be sure to enter before the deadline of 11 AM CST Sunday the 28th. http://www.talkbears.com/Contests/index.htm
